Blockchain Conference

overview

Blockchain truly is a revolutionary mechanism to bring everyone to the highest degree of accountability. Above anything else, the most critical application of Blockchain technology is to guarantee the validity of a transaction by recording it on a distributed system of registers, all of which are interconnected through a secure time-stamped mechanism. In today's digital information age, Blockchain represents a critical intersection between the financial world, social networking, and powerful decentralized networks. Stakeholders must formulate careful legal and business strategies that factor in the technology and infrastructure, as well as the corresponding market appetite and regulatory structures in rapidly evolving global markets.

This Blockchain Technology Conference to be held on May 18, 2018 in Perth aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Blockchain technology by focusing on how to address the implementation challenges, make best use of the opportunities and benefit from the innovation and disruption that this technology brings along.

Over the last 18 months, initial coin offerings or ICOs, have grown in popularity amongst Australia's start-up community. Many enterprising businesses have seen ICOs as an alternate method of raising capital, without the need to cede equity. However, with this greater popularity has come greater scrutiny from regulators, in particular, ASIC. With this in mind, our presentation will set out the common legal issues faced by businesses conducting ICOs, the role that legal can play in minimising regulatory risk, and our views on where the regulators are and where they are likely to go next. -

Data ownership and identity management on the blockchain is still a hot working area, and is a fundamental problem that must be solved before blockchain solutions can become accessible and practical for the layperson to use. We will have a look at the latest developments and big problems still surrounding blockchain based identity management, and provide an up to date picture of the current state of existing data ownership and privacy tools available for use on the blockchain.
